Mediacom's Q1 earnings way down

Lost 4000 subscribers last quarter, wow! Betting those poor souls that still subscribe are going to see a rate increase here soon to help make up for all that lost revenue. You'd think at some point they'd realize they not only need to get more competitive with their pricing and packages but also improve their service reliability and customer service too. Those 3 things combined is what turned me off Medicom years ago and I won't even consider them again until they've greatly improved in those areas.

I am just happy their HD line has expanded alot recently. They are up to 45 HD channels in CR now, and have pretty much all the channels I watch in HD now. Still waiting on National Geographic and Versus though.

Yes Mediacom stinks, we need more competition. In Central Iowa, I do not like choosing between Qwest and Mediacom for high speed internet. I cannot get satellite at my house because of too many trees around the area.

Re: Mediacom's Q1 earnings way down

You know what, I actually like Mediacom. Admitedly, I am still a new customer, so I have the introductory rate. But I love the fast internet. I have had good service from them. The only thing I would like is the MLB package.

You are correct in that Mediacom goes far beyond central Iowa, but I believe Iowa is the majority of their subs. Des Moines is the biggest market they are in. All of their markets outside of Iowa are rural areas and small towns.

Re: Mediacom's Q1 earnings way down

Mediacom's name is on a lot of sporting events around Central Iowa (including ISU) and they produce some local sports programming (which is the main reason I stay with them) so whether you subscribe or not, it isn't good for anyone if they get into financial trouble.
